Kenta Kobashi vs. Toshiaki Kawada (1/19/95) | L&WRR #49 w/ Rich Fann Oct 04, 2025

Show notes

Joining WH Park to discuss Toshiaki Kawada vs. Kenta Kobashi from 1/19/95 (Kawada’s first defense of his inaugural Triple Crown reign) is Pro Wrestling Torch & POST Wrestling’s Rich Fann.

WH and Rich break down the booking of this match and how it reflects Giant Baba’s overall approach to positioning Kawada as a main event player in All Japan.

They also explore how to spot when a match is going “broadway” and why selling a body part later in a match isn’t always as crucial as it might seem.
